Pharm Alumnus Appointed Director of TMC’s Innovation Institute

Erik Halvorsen, PhD (Pharmacology, Class of 2001) was recently appointed as Director of Texas Medical Center’s (TMC) Innovation Institute. An interesting article in Xconomy Texas takes a look at some of the ways TMC plans to help boost Houston’s biotech scene and the ways Dr. Halvorsen imagines building a mutually supportive biotech ecosystem.

While enrolled at UVA, Dr. Halvorsen studied under Drs. Thomas Sturgill and James Bennett.
